Write for us

Modern Theatre Guide welcomes pitches that help readers see how theatre works through its visual and spatial choices. We are interested in clear, original writing grounded in careful observation and accessible to readers without specialist training.

What to pitch

Propose a focused piece about stage design, lighting, costume, movement, or theatre spaces. Strong ideas start with a specific question or detail and show why it opens up a useful way of looking. Comparisons, explainers, thoughtful histories, and observation-led pieces can all fit.

What makes a good submission

Keep the scope manageable and the language clear. Explain unfamiliar terms, separate what can be observed from what you infer, and avoid claims about a production's intentions unless they can be supported. We do not seek promotional copy, unverified anecdotes, or pitches built around access to confidential information.

Send a pitch

Send proposals through the Contact page. Include a working title, a short summary of the central idea, why it suits Modern Theatre Guide, and a brief account of your relevant experience or approach. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication; please wait for a response before sending a full draft.
